A groundbreaking study reveals how scientists are using enamel proteins from ancient teeth to learn more about Paranthropus robustus, challenging previous notions of sexual dimorphism and species classification.
A 43,000-year-old fingerprint on a rock in Spain may be the oldest evidence of Neanderthal symbolic art, challenging existing beliefs about their cognitive abilities.
New research reveals that ancient Homo sapiens might have used tailored clothing and ochre as sunscreen to survive increased solar radiation during a magnetic pole shift 41,000 years ago.
Cambridge researchers reveal a groundbreaking discovery in human evolution, showing that our ancestors underwent a genetic 'divorce and remarriage' that shaped every human today. This ancient mixing event transforms our understanding of humanity's origins.
A groundbreaking study reveals that modern humans share 20% of their DNA with a mysterious ancient population, suggesting a complex history of interbreeding and evolution that reshaped our species.
New research reveals a single genetic mutation in the NOVA1 gene may explain why humans developed complex speech while Neanderthals could not. This tiny change in a brain protein has vast implications for understanding human communication.
Recent studies reveal a significant genetic bottleneck in the Neanderthal population around 110,000 years ago, leading to a dramatic decline in diversity and altering their evolutionary course. Discover the shocking insights into this critical event.
